Oh, and the "Copy Hash" menu does not work as I would expect on my
system, i.e., the hash is not pasted when I middle-click.

I just recalled a conversation about this on IRC, something about there
being two clipboards in X -- and indeed, when I do Ctrl+v in Iceweasel,
then I see the hash. So TortoiseHg makes the hash the Clipboard
selection when I expect it as the Primary selection.

I see the copied hash as a temporary thing, especially when it was
copied by simply selecting a changeset, and so the Primary selection
seems like the right one?

I found the explanation on Clipboard/Primary selections here:
